Dutch Self-Defense Not Allowed

DUTCH NOT ALLOWED SELF-DEFENSE 15208 - Shulman

SHARON'S LEGACY

The State estimates that it already has cost about $4 billion to
evacuate from Gaza. Costs continue rising. None of the families
ruined by that action has received the permanent housing promised by
the government (Arutz-7, 8/10).

The human toll was great. National security deteriorated.

NO DUTCH SELF-DEFENSE AGAINST ISLAMISTS

A Dutch organization helps people who cast off Islam. The founder was
attacked by a Muslim youth. A Dutch legislator wants to ban the Koran
for inspiring such attacks and Muslim immigration for providing the
attackers. He denies that a significant wing of Islam is moderate. "...
sections of the Koran 'call on Muslims to oppress, persecute or kill
Christians, Jews, dissidents and non-believers, to beat and rape women
and to establish an Islamic state by force.'" He wrote, "'Ban this
wretched book like 'Mein Kampf' is banned! Send a signal to Jami's
attackers and other Islamic radicals that the Koran cannot be used in
the Netherlands as an inspiration or an excuse for violence.'"

In response, a Dutch attorney filed a complaint for insulting a sector
of the population, which there is a criminal offense (Arutz-7, 8/10).

As I wrote, in some countries it is a crime to warn the country of its
greatest current peril, however truthful one is. Why don't
prosecutors apply the same law to Islamists, who regularly denounce
other sectors of the population?

UNIFIL MANDATE LIMITED

UNIFIL is authorized to patrol northward from the Israeli border up to
the Litani R. in Lebanon. The river is only 10 miles from the
border. Hizbullah rockets fly further. Hizbullah is buying land just
north of the river, and rebuilding its bases there, beyond reach of
UNIFIL. Hizbullah then brings in Shiites to displace the Christian
and Druze villagers. It bars entry to people it doesn't want.
Besides thus preparing for renewed war, Hizbullah is setting up a
state within a state, preparatory to taking over Lebanon (IMRA,
8/12).

IRAN'S RATIONING RESPONSE TO SANCTIONS

Anticipating foreign sanctions on imports of refined gasoline, Iran
imposed rationing. Rationing failed to reduce consumption. Instead
it led to a black market in gasoline, profiteering, riots, and
looting. The government does not allow the media to discuss
rationing, though it propagandizes for it. It discusses the potential
benefit of rationing and not the suffering it causes (IMRA, 8/27).
